Story Behind The Song

When my children & I moved to a beautiful new home that happened to be close to a busy highway, I suggested we try to think of the sound of the ocean instead of cars speeding by. Although I haven't found my country home yet, I'm very happy where I am now still in the city overlooking a quiet laneway where people walk their dogs plus a large soccer field and tennis courts ~

Lyrics

TAKE ME AWAY (from this busy highway)

Intro
Take me away from this busy highway
Take me away to where I want to be
In the country

I want to be where I can see
The sunrise in the morning
The unsetting in the evening

I want to be where I can feel
The warm summer breezes
Blowing soft against my skin

I want to run through open meadows
Where the sky goes on forever
I want to plant good seeds
And watch them grow
And drink from the cool clear water

I want to go where life is slow
I want to take my time
I want to ease my mind
And leave the city life behind
I want to feel the earth
I want to touch the sky
And kiss the city life bye bye

I want to run through open meadows
Where the sky goes on forever
I want to plant good seeds
And watch them grow
And drink from the cool clear water

I want to go where life is slow
Take my time
I want to ease my mind
And leave the city life behind
I want to feel the earth
And touch the sky
And kiss the city life bye bye!
I want to kiss the city life bye bye!
